JD Twitch Shares Nightmares on Wax Mix

In case Warp’s recent N.O.W is the Time documentary wasn’t enough of an intro to the more than two decades of music Nightmares on Wax has released leading up to next month’s best-of compilation, Optimo co-founder JD Twitch has distilled the producer’s entire discography down to a 10-minute minimix.

N.O.W is the Time is due out June 17th through Warp, including a deluxe edition that’s rounded out by remixes from Mr. Scruff, LFO, Morgan Geist and more…
